Wine Information:
The Pinnacle of Fame:
The hope, desire, and purpose of our Fraternity is to help our brothers acquire the attributes of character that will assist them to ascend the Pinnacle of Fame. The challenge of Alpha Sigma Phi is the call to an appreciation of man’s noblest virtues.
The five virtues that lead one toward the Pinnacle of Fame are Silence, Charity, Purity, Honor and Patriotism.
We introduce you to The Pinnacle of Fame. The 2023 vintage will be remembered for its cool conditions throughout the summer and into harvest, shaping a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. Layered aromas of blackberry, baking spices, cranberry, cardamom, anise and floral rose burst forth on the nose, while zingy cherry juice, cola nut, black tea, pomegranate, and hints of lemon zest unfold on the palate of this lush round Pinot that is braced by bright acidity.
Black Lantern:
The Black Lantern Processional is one of our brotherhood’s public rituals and one of Alpha Sigma Phi’s oldest. It was born at Yale University in the mid - 1800s. Traditionally, those selected for membership were placed into the line in between brothers and taken to the place where they were to be initiated. Today the processional is used to celebrate Founders’ Day, to mark the anniversary of a chapter, to gather new members for the Initiation ceremony, or as a memorial for our deceased brothers.
We introduce you to Black Lantern. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
The Tomahawk:
The rivalry between Kappa Sigma Theta and Alpha Sigma Phi, the two sophomore societies, spilled over into print. Kappa Sigma Theta attacked our new society in The Yale Banger. In response, Alpha Sigma Phi began publishing The Yale Tomahawk in November 1847. The Yale Tomahawk was printed on a page twelve by eighteen inches and folded to form a four-page, 9-by-12 folio, costing six cents per copy.
The content of The Yale Tomahawk attacked Kappa Sigma Theta and The Yale Banger, but also included editorials, articles about Yale life, Fraternity announcements, poems and other essays.
The Tomahawk is the oldest college fraternity publication in the world. After it appeared in 1847, it continued until the University suspended it in 1852. Since its revival in April 1909, it has been continuously published.
We introduce you to The Tomahawk. This Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
